Philosophy Spirituality and Recovery of Mental Health Nursing: Literatur Review

Abstract

AbstractBackgroundThe recurrence rate and quality of life for mental disorders are still quite low. The phenomenon of mental recovery is still focused on clinical recovery, which emphasizes drug therapy. On the other hand, empowering the patient to be able to control themselves to get a meaningful life from their illness becomes a challenge. Mental health nursing focuses on the well-being of individuals so that they have a good quality of life. Spirituality-based psychological management helps patients with mental disorders to have self-awareness, self-efficacy, self-empowerment and to create meaningful life as an important intervention in addition to drug administration. This literature review aims to explore the influence of spirituality on mental health recovery.MethodsThis study used a literature review design with four databases: Scopus, Science Direct, ProQuest, and SpringerLink. There were 12 reviewed articles published in 2019-2022. Keywords used are 1) spirituality or religiosity AND recovery AND mental illness. 2) spirituality or religiosity AND recovery AND severe mental disorder. Protocol and literature review evaluation use PRISMA.ResultsSpirituality helps mental disorder patients to build self-confidence, control themselves, find strength and build hope to find the meaning of their life. The ability to control themselves and find the meaning of their life becomes psychological well-being that will be able to improve the quality of life.ConclusionRecovery from mental disorders is complex and multifactorial; therefore, psychological interventions are constantly being developed. Psychological interventions using spirituality by involving sufferers, nurses, families, religious leaders, and other health teams need to be developed.
